We are asked from time to time if our cheese is vegetarian.

The answer is yes, we use a synthetic form (not GMO) of rennet called Hannilaise.

This is how the manufacturer of Hannilaise describes it: Hannilase Rennet XL205 is a microbial rennet made by a culture fermentation of mucor meihei, this milk-clotting enzyme can be used to produce all cheese varieties.
